Looking for pictures/info on BMH Rinteln

I found this site by accident, whilst researching Rinteln. I have discovered that I was also born at BMH Rinteln in May 1953, premature weighing 3 pounds and have been told that I was cared for by Queen Alexandra nurses. My family was stationed at Bielfeld.I an looking for old photos of both Rinteln and Bielefeld if possible.

In addition to Gordon's link you might try contacting Prince Rupert School Rinteln, a Secondary School for the children of British Forces based in the area. Some of the school is located in the former BMH grounds I believe

Secondly do you know what unit your father was stationed with in 1953? Bielefeld was always a large British Garrison and there were a number of Barracks occupied by the British Army units. If you go to the Master Page of this site (not Forum) and click on Locations, then Bielefeld you will find a fair amount of information including photographs of some of the Barracks

I was down there a few weeks ago and have some recent pix. I would willingly e-mail them.

PRS is still there ...just. Closes down end of the spring term next year. Now down to about 80 pupils, only 12 of which board. If you search on internet they are hoping to have a big shindig for the closure. Old pupils welcome.
